Review:
Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • Season one was fairly self contained. It was a slow burn that became addictive during the second half. I couldn't see how they could make a decent follow up with season two. Either way, after season one, there was no way I wouldn't watch.
    This season is a slight step down. It spins a similar web, but doesn't provide a payoff. Ben Mendelsohn really carried season one, and while we see him in every episode this season, it's just not the same. It's an attempt to keep a breakout star in the show when he's not really there and it doesn't work. Chandler fills the role well, but he can only do so much.
    This is another slow burn, but not enough happens. We're teased that something might happen or somebody knows something that's going have a major impact, but then nothing happens and the situation disappears. This setup and lack of payoff plagues the season. Season one teased the murder that would happen in the last episode and Danny's past which helped, but this season doesn't have either to fall back on.
